Reformat Captions to Roll-up…
Opens a window that allows you to choose the Roll-up style you want to format all captions to.
You may choose 2, 3, or 4 Line Roll Up.
Reformat Captions to Pop-on…
Opens a window that allows you to choose how many lines per caption you want. You may
choose 1, 2, 3, or 4 Lines per Caption for Pop-on.
Reformat Pop-on Captions…
If your project is already in pop-on and you want to continue using pop-on but with a different
number of lines per block, or if many blocks were edited and now have too many lines, this
option will make all your pop-on captions have a consistent look.
